To the teacher and the engraver

Dear Miss Teacher
I salute you!
Not for inspiring your pupils,
dedicating your time
and energy to their learning,
giving them joy
of all that is around them,
pouring your time,
again and again
into them.
Your belief in the future
in them
is admirable indeed.
But I salute you
for your belief
in beauty,
knowing it can transform
people's lives
and through that,
change the world.
You have never picked up
a pencil?
Or paintbrush?
Or engraving tool?
No Matter.
You support
the printer, the engraver,
the designer,
in his vision.
Without you,
there might not be
his work.
Dear Miss Teacher
I salute you.
